Vital Geographies
This project (initially funded as an ESRC seminar series) considers how the politics of life both incorporate and are unsettled by geographical issues. The cultural and technological determinants that shape the beginning of life, the end of life, and the length of life are profoundly geographical. There are important questions that need to be asked about this. With regards to the length of life, for example, the lottery of place-of-birth has implications for theories of justice.
